Fatness

　　Fat on human body is distributed(分布) in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline (腰身), looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.

　　Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat distribution. They find that the pear-shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped people. What seems to be most important is not just how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped and pear-shaped women and examined them with X-ray scanners(X光扫描器). Human beings have two types of fat——one is outside fat that is the fat below the skin and the other is inside fat which lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the“apples” have a large amount of inside fat. If this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it will probably cause health problems such as obesity (肥胖病). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment(饮食疗法) simply makes and apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.

Multiple choice:

1．According to the relation between health and fatness ___________.

[　　]

A．it's better to be pear-shaped than apple-shaped

B．it's better to be apple-shaped than pear-shaped

C．apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped people

[　　]

A． the amount of fat they have

B． the place where they have the fat

C． the amount of the outside fat they have

D． which type of the fat people they belong to

3．If you are fatter below your hip (臀部) you are ___________.

[　　]

A． either an apple-shaped person or a pear-shaped person

B． neither a pear-shaped person nor an apple-shaped person

C． a pear-shaped person

D． an apple-shaped person

4．The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that ___________.

[　　]

A． they take very little exercise every day

B． they eat too much

C． the are examined by X-ray scanners quite often

D． they have much more inside fat

　　Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch?Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores?What can’t you be bothered to do?

　　A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they’d catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs．

　　Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain’s largest health charity．The results were astonishing．

　　About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up．

　　More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus．Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64％ said they were often too tired to play with them．

　　This led the report to conclude that it’s no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese(very fat)before they start school．

　　Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said：“People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too．”

　　“If we don’t start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks．”

　　And Scotland’s largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75％ surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67％．

　　The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year．

　　A study published Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it’s time to find out if more sleep will fight fatness．

　　“We’ve put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep,” said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University．

　　Monday’s study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index - a measure of weight based on height - increased．

　　Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and fat patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said．In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights．

　　“Americans experience insufficient sleep and fat bodies．Clinicians are aware of the burden of fatness on patients,” the study said．

　　“Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index,” it added．

　　“We caution that this study does not establish a cause-and-effect relationship between restricted sleep and fatness(but)investigations indicating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to set up such a relationship．”

　　The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research．

　　In an interview, Turek said some studies have shown sleep causes declines in an appetite(胃口)suppressing protein hormone, and increases in another hormone that causes a longing for food．In addition neuropathies(神经疗法)in the brain governing sleep and fatness appear to overlap(重叠), he said．

　　Fatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic(流行病)levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health problems．

(1)

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
[　　]
A．	Lack of sleep causes declines in a desire limiting protein hormone．
B．	Americans experience sufficient sleep and fat bodies．
C．	The findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may be necessary．
D．	Fatness has been rising dramatically in America．

　　Does stress cause gray hair? Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color．In fact, it is an old wives tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying．Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives tale could be true．

　　As one ages, the hairs on the head also age．In fact, just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while．The joints wear and become stiff and skin wears and becomes wrinkled．Hairs on the head grow and eventually die．They are replaced, but in the process something else happens．

　　When new hairs are replaced, the color or pigment(色素)is also added to them．However, as one ages, this pigment becomes less and less available．At first, hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color．In time, they will lose all of their pigment and will be white．Many things are known to cause graying．and genetics is a very powerful factor．If one of your parents turns gray at an early age, there is a good chance that you will too．Some people begin the graying process in high school, while others may be over the age of forty．

　　Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body．It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss．It would make sense that if it can cause these problems, perhaps it also may contribute to graying．However, there, is no sound evidence to support this．

　　On the other hand, many medical professionals believe that there may be a link：between graying and a constant state of anxiety or, tension．Does stress cause gray hair? There is no scientific evidence to support the theory, but it is best to avoid stressful situations．

All of my childhood and early, adult life, my mom weighed over 220 pounds (one pound = 0.454 kilograms). I could feel the pain that my mom experienced with her fatness.

　 I was never uncomfortable about my mother, but I think she was uncomfortable about herself, and that feeling was painful for all of us. And she began to lose weight.

　　 After more than twenty years of battling obesity（肥胖）, my mother completed a forceful eighteen-month diet that left her ninety pounds lighter than before. A new woman was born! At age twenty-eight, I got a new mom! For the first time, I met the woman my mother truly was, the beautiful little lady under the fatness. It wasn’t so much her new body that was the surprise, but rather her new spirit.

　 To celebrate her new size and to devote herself to dancing again, my mother joined a “Mrs. Forty-Plus” competition, where she would have to model, give a speech and provide a dance performance. She told our family that she did not care if she won — she simply had always wanted to perform on stage.

　 She told each one of us, “I’m not doing it to win; I’m doing it to dance!”

　 The competition was exciting! I prayed(祈祷) that my mom would win, but while watching her on stage I was simply overjoyed just by her effort. To me, she had already won. She posed to perfection, her speech brought tears to everyone’s eyes, and her performance was wonderful.

　 That night, at age fifty-three, my mother was crowned (为......加冕) “Mrs. Forty-Plus”. She was the first person in our family to ever win such a title.
